In addition, an average American mindset is wired to the government free bills so non ever wants to buy a home outrightly even if they have the money they rather opt for a morgage which will last for 30-40yrs forgetting they may fall into financial, drug, accident or some kind of troubles which might make them not owning the house.
Government have made their minds lazy.
where average American want see the money to buy house outright in the first place? undecided
Use your brain,there no be naija weh you go build any kind of kitchen you like anywhere that will cost 2m and you start living in it uncompleted.
Real estate developers secure land lease,develop it according to whom they want to be selling to(target market),fix price,client comes,likes the place,go to his bank to finance the deal,bank pays the developer and then mortgage it to client for 40years with interest.
War betide the client if he defaults grin
Bank go just send two collect their house back and all your mortgage turns to rent,
Use your brain and stop talking rubbish!
The US government has nothing to do with mortgage or credit,just regulatory rules like what CBN does here too.

any homeless american person is a former felon or drug addict ,how many of Nigerians are homeless in america? I dont think you will see cus they know what they came there to do,some homeless people in america are living fine than some conditions of nigerians living in lagos
No, many of the homeless actually have mental issues.
The destruction of the public mental institution led to the ballooning of the homeless population.

I drove to city of Alameda today, about six hours drive from Los Angeles, California and I decided to share some pics since I'm somehow not busy lately.

Traffic on freeways i5N and 580W were kinda good because people are staying home so I took some pics while on about 80 mile per hour, I know it's stupid.

I have to warn that the pics may not be too clear because I no be photographer, besides I no dey use better phone. I'm too careless with phones that I use cheap ones now so that I won't cry when I mistakenly put them again with dirty cloths in washing machine.

Firstly, I went to Costco to fill up my gas tank.


Marines,hooraah!!

I am biased I grew up there. It just a beautiful and peaceful country, despite the occasional racism I encountered.

Not just fields but fenced in which suggests ranching. not the indiscriminate roaming of cattle tolerated by President Buhari

Criminal record which makes getting a job hard
Drugs addiction
Loss of house due to job loss and mortgage default.
Choice
Laziness
You are correct.
Most were into DRUGS and CRIMES.
Dem many for DOWNTOWN, Los Angeles.
With their TENT HOUSES.

Although we cook and send to them.
Most times we also send medications and relief items.
I really FEEL for them.
Each time I pass that axis to SAN BERNARDINO, I weep.

Although the GOVERNMENT was on the verge of doing something for them before CORONA started

Hahaha.
Effect of too many movies.
America has the worst welfare in the western hemisphere.

Even the country's populace are largely against freebies.

Don't believe me, just check political candidates who promise freebies and see
their utter failure in national campaigns.

Of course, there are some freebies in terms of food and food stamps but they just
exist to keep recipients barely fed.
America Almajiris have it worse because they get to see prosperity pass them by every day
while they are stuck in poverty.

If you fall into poverty in America, you are fvcked.

if you actually work and save for 3-5 years you will have enough to buy atleast a 2-3bedroom house depending on the location but Americans live a life of credit... credit cards have ruined a lot of life’s here including divorce settlements drugs crime etc...I have opted never to use a credit card cos a lot of people run into Debts using that and Americans love buying things they don’t need someone will pay for his internet cable tv Netflix HBO prime etc they don’t know how to save why do you think nigerians come here after 2-3 years they buy houses even start sending money home to there loves ones aka black tax ...only handful of Americans save , house in Sacramento costs about $200-300k and an average minimum wage there is $15 they end up working only 3-4 days a week and spend the money they got on stupid things but nigerians that come here work longer hours and save more even have 2-3 houses paid off in cash not mortgages so an average American problem is laziness,dependency on government they can declare bankruptcy, divorce and crime drug abuse etc

Wow!! Still wondering why America have lot of homeless people bt you d be surprised they living better life than average Nigerians sef! Los Angeles is a very expensive city so actually they might prefer being homeless in LA to living in cheap city like Tennessee,indiana etc
These are nice pictures wink
No sane human would prefer living as homeless anywhere in the world! Btw, American mostly prefer to live in the surbs than the metros like Cali, Chicago and etc
